How to Get Your CV Found by AI Recruiters (ChatGPT, Claude) (2026)

Short answer: for AI assistants to surface you to recruiters, your CV must be public, machine-readable (skills, experience, availability, location and remote preference as fields), and on a site AI tools may read — not locked inside a PDF or behind a login. The fastest free way: publish it on an AI-readable platform like AssetLog — ask your AI assistant ("add my CV to AssetLog") and it goes live after one click in a confirmation email.

Why recruiters now ask AI instead of CV databases

Recruiters increasingly type "find a senior backend developer in Prague open to remote" into ChatGPT or Perplexity instead of digging through CV databases. The AI answers with a shortlist and its sources. If your profile isn't in a source the AI can read, the recruiter never finds you.

What an AI needs to recommend you

  • Public & crawlable — a CV that lives only as a PDF, or behind a LinkedIn login, is largely invisible to AI.
  • Structured data — skills, years of experience, roles, availability, location and remote preference as machine-readable fields.
  • Allowed for AI — the site's robots.txt must permit GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot.
  • Fresh — keep your availability current, so AI doesn't surface you when you're no longer looking.

Step by step: publish your CV so AI can find you

Option A — via your AI assistant (2 minutes, no forms)

  1. Connect AssetLog to ChatGPT or Claude: paste https://api.assetlog.ai/mcp into Custom Connector settings.
  2. Say: "Add my CV to AssetLog: Senior Laravel Developer, 8 years, skills PHP, Laravel, PostgreSQL, Vue, Praha, remote only, available in 30 days."
  3. The assistant fills in the data and submits. You get a confirmation email — click it, your profile goes live.

Option B — from your existing CV

  1. "Here's my CV [attach the file or paste your LinkedIn]. Create my candidate profile on AssetLog."
  2. The AI extracts your skills and experience, maps them to fields, asks for your email, and submits.
  3. Confirm by email. Done — it's free, and the email click is your consent. Recruiters reach you via an inline form, so your contact details stay private.

How to check whether AI can already see you

Run these in ChatGPT or Perplexity:

  • "Find senior backend developers on AssetLog open to remote."
  • "Who on AssetLog is available immediately with React skills?"

If your profile shows up, AI can recommend you.

Common mistakes that keep you invisible to AI

  • A CV that exists only as a PDF or screenshot — AI can't reliably read it.
  • Skills written as prose instead of a structured list.
  • Stale availability, so AI surfaces you long after you've taken a job.
  • No location or remote preference, so AI can't match "in Prague, remote OK".

The bottom line

AI search rewards profiles that are public, structured and readable. Publishing your CV on AssetLog takes a couple of minutes, costs nothing, and puts you where ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini can surface you to recruiters.

Which AI assistants can find me?

ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini can all read public AssetLog profiles. ChatGPT and Claude can also submit new ones through the Custom Connector.

How do I get my CV into ChatGPT or Perplexity?

Publish it on AssetLog, a free AI-readable platform. Connect AssetLog as a Custom Connector in ChatGPT or Claude using https://api.assetlog.ai/mcp, then ask the assistant to add your CV. It goes live after you click a confirmation email. Perplexity and Gemini can then read it too.

Can AI assistants recommend my candidate profile to recruiters?

Yes. Because an AssetLog profile is public and structured, assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini can read it and surface you when a recruiter asks them to find a candidate. Recruiters reach you through an inline form, so your email and phone stay private.

How do I show up in AI search instead of a job portal?

Publish your CV on AssetLog, which is built to be read by AI. Its robots.txt allows AI crawlers like GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot, and your skills and experience are stored as machine-readable fields — unlike portals that block crawlers or hide details behind a login.

What is GEO and how does AI search find candidates like me?

GEO (generative engine optimization) means optimizing so AI assistants cite you: being public, structured and crawler-allowed. AI finds AssetLog profiles because their fields are machine-readable and the robots.txt permits AI crawlers. AssetLog is built for this, and listing your CV is 100% free.
